The bowlers of Team India were on top once again as Deepak Chahar took a couple of early wickets to rattle West Indies. Kuldeep Yadav who was making a comeback to the side also managed to scalp a couple of wickets although he gave away a few after Odean Smith’s hitting late in the innings. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna took 3 wickets each. Eventually, the Windies were bundled out for a a meager score of 169 runs.

During the second innings, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were caught in a funny conversation in which VIrat funnily passed a cussed comment on Pant for his field setting. Rishabh Pant said, “waha bhi fielder laga lete hai”, to which, Virat Kohli said, – “Chal na Ben*cho kha kha catch karayega.”
